Up until Witcher III...

I bought this laptop for $360 on a flash sale from Bestuydotcom back in 2011. It had Win7 and would run Soliwdorks and Lighrtoom at that time. I had purchased it to use as a community college student majoring in mechanical engineering and with a photography hobby. It has been a reliable if somewhat boring laptop. It works nicely at doing simple photo manipulation and developing and renders my Soliwdorks models just fine. It gets VERY hot. this is not a ''lap''top computer and needs to be on a hard flat surface. It wasn't used for much gaming other than Skryim and it never handled that at much of a high FPS or detail but was still fun to play. I did a RAM upgrade and installed Win10 and it seems like a new machine in some ways. Still, when I try to run Witcher III it just can't do it. So today it is mostly just a Netfrix and music machine, doing occasional photo and engineering work.

Began amazing but ended horribly.

I bought this laptop and i loved it. Everything was how I wanted it but after having it for a few months My thoughts on it changed. My mouse completely quit working. I didn't mind this because you can get a cheap mouse to replace it. The mouse mad also started peeling. Then part of the plastic started popping apart allowing dust to get inside the laptop. It began to freeze up often. Switching to windows 10 seemed to help this problem a little. The next two things are causing me to buy a new computer. My charger broke causing me to spend hours trying to find the correct one and repeatedly buy them and return them since they wouldn't fit correctly. Now the battery has completely gone out and i can't use my laptop unless it is plugged up. I took perfect care of this laptop and it's slowly falling apart.

Brother said it's what he needed

I got this for my brother who lives 3000 miles away. Step below my Intel I5 in processor speed but everything else is equal. Took a while to find him something within his budget.

Great buy!

Bought this to replace my daughters Dell laptop for college, which she cracked. :( That Dell from about 3 years ago cost over 1,200.00, and this Samsung Notebook performs even better. This notebook has everything on it her Dell did, and I was able to get her back in business in no time, thanks to this company's quick shipping & delivery. Very happy with my purchase.
